    Anyone have this game?
    Is it a crappy console port?
    How is it the performance on 8600M GT?
    I don't care about multiplayer, Does the single player worth my time? Is it any good?
    thanks.

    Blacksite isn't worth your time.

    Check out a few game reviews for further information.

    I agree. It's really not a great game.

    nEVER go by a review's opinion as MOST are biased and get paid to say certain things...

    But about the game, I DO own it, and it's OK at best.. doesn't really hold my attention much, it feels awkward, and you'll be playing at really reduced settings since it isn't optimised for sh*t.

    In my opinion... get something else, COD4, orange box, Crysis, just not blacksite.

    Most are not paid to give any game a positive review.

    that's why game ratings are similar across the board right? because companies have enough money to pay every major gaming sites to write positive things about their game. yeah right..

    crappy games are crappy games. if what you're saying is true then every game made by EA should receive over 80% which they don't.

    Blacksite area 51 is a worthless and boring game. Besides, it`s 11 gigs installed ,took a long time to instal it, and was very dissapointed with it...I really expected more from something that large...

    i kinda agree with unknown555525, blacksite isn't a great shooter, but it also nowhere as bad as most reviewers claim. some of the boss battles are just stunning and should really be experienced by everyone. the games biggest enemy being the bugs, it's obvious this game's unfinished, a patch propably could fix this, so you may want to wait for it, but mind you, it's nowhere as good as shooters like HL2, CoD4 and crysis..
